Are Your Locks Secure?

Ever heard of a bump key? Well…. you may have never heard of them, but thanks to the internet and easy accessibility, thieves have! Here’s a video showing just how easy (and cheap) it is to effortlessly break into any house. Illegal without a locksmith license, bump keys are easily accessible on the internet for a few dollars. Thieves can efficiently enter your home with little effort or trace of forced entry. This news story is nearly a year old but I just received a mail today with this video clip. O — there are apparently locks you can purchase and install that aren’t opened with a bump key. Here’s the locksmith guy’s website with info on bump keys and secure locks: bayarealocks.com

Would you believe we never lock our doors? When our house was on the market last year we actually had to buy a new doorknob to put a key on at the realtor’s insistence. I noticed the local mower guy doesn’t even put his stock away at night. I just love where we live.
